SNES BlackhawkUsed Super Nintendo game

Blackthorne (released as Blackhawk in some European countries) is a cinematic platformer video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released for the SNESand MS-DOS in 1994. The cover art for the SNES version was drawn by Jim Lee. In 2013, the game was added to server us.battle.net as a free download, emulated through DOSBox.

GameplayThe game focuses around protagonist Kyle "Blackthorne" Vlaros, out for revenge on Sarlac and his minions. The gameplay involves large platforming sequences, in which Kyle can run and climb around the environment, find keys and items and progress to the end of each maze like level. Combat in Blackthorne takes the form of gunfights. Both Blackthorne and his enemies can press against walls to avoid incoming bullets. Blackthorne can also fire blindly behind himself. During the game, Kyle uses a pump action shotgun as his primary weapon. As the game progresses, Androthi allies will help him upgrade the weapon, increasing its speed and power.

The game has seventeen levels within four areas - the mines of Androth, the Karrellian forests/swamps, the Wasteland desert, and Shadow keep. The Sega 32X version includes a fifth area, the snowy mountains, which is not found in the other versions of the game. As the game progresses through these areas, Kyle becomes stronger and better armed, but so do the enemies.

PortsBlackthorne was released with modified graphics, higher color palette and four new levels, which take place on a snowy mountain, for the Sega 32X in 1995. The game had a soundtrack similar to the SNES version, as opposed to the DOS version that used MIDI. This version was also released for Classic Mac OS, running in double resolution, in 1996. A port to the Game Boy Advance was released in 2003, with reduced graphics compared with the original.Source: Wikipedia
